Sure I am not Alan, but I think the right sentence is 'Burj dubai has one thousand and forty four apartments'.

Hi,

I presume the question is about 'is having' or 'has/have'. There is no need to use the present continuous (having) here because 'has/have' already suggests 'continuousness' in the very meaning of the verb. Therefore Mixmixi is quite right.
